It looks great in photos, but being there in person feels even more immersive.

Haneda Airport (Tokyo International Airport)
Haneda is Japan’s largest airport, officially called Tokyo International Airport. Each of the three terminals has an observation deck where you can watch closely the airplanes take off and land, shopping facility, and restaurants with different cuisines.
There are quite a lot of bus departures from Haneda Airport. You can get direct service to places like Shinjuku, Ikebukuro, and Tokyo Station, and the staff will help with your luggage too. Overall, the service is really good.

Shinjuku Expressway Bus Terminal
Opened in 2016, Shinjuku Expressway Bus Terminal stands as one of Japan’s largest highway bus terminals, located at JR Shinjuku Station’s South Exit. With around 90 bus operators serving the terminal, it connects destinations from Aomori in the north to Fukuoka in the south, with over 1,600 bus departures daily.
Shinjuku is already lively at night, and BUSTA Shinjuku looks even more impressive under the lights. With so many travelers coming and going with their luggage, you can really feel the energy of Tokyo as an international metropolis.

Hanazono Shrine
From long ago, the shrine located here has held an important Shinto deity for all of Shinjuku. It exists quietly among the shopping malls and eateries lining Shinjuku's downtown streets.
When I passed by Hanazono Shrine, I noticed quite a few tourists and locals stopping in to pay their respects.
It’s really special that a traditional space like this has been preserved in the middle of such a busy downtown area. -
